World of Warcraft : Thousands of players are furious

World of Warcraft

Now, users wishing to write messages on the forums of the most famous video game, World of Warcraft, will make their full names rather than actual supply a nickname. A change that causes the anger of many players including Xavier wrote us. (http://www.rtlinfo.be)

“The famous game World of Warcraft Blizzard developed by the company which is part of Vivendi will launch in a few months a single thing on the internet and MMORPGs (Editor’s note: MMORPG for ‘game massively multiplayer online role’. In More: click here.) Players, to use the official forums of Blizzard’s games, must necessarily advertise their real name and surname on these forums. If they do not wish to display it, they can not use them.

This is amazing because anonymity is one of the founding stones of the Internet since its beginning! We can not even count the number of problems it can create. Here are a few:

- Can find address, phone, name of parents / spouse / children in a few clicks
- People just crazed you can make life as they have not fed through pizza, police, letters, …
- A girl will never be peace, when you already see people become crazy just by hearing the voice of a girl on a communication software community
- A person with a name / first name of foreign origin (Muhammad) may suffer direct discrimination

Thousands of players are furious to discover this new “option”. A staff member Blizzard has had the bad idea to give his name / first name to “show that AC is not very serious.” In five minutes, someone pulled him all his life, pictures of his wife, his children, his house, his parents, phone, address, CV, etc. … the point where it has already removed all he could to stop the wave (Facebook profile deleted, site photos of his life, etc …) Where will they stop if they really put this system in place? !

The players and customers (because it requires a paid subscription, I remember, to play this game) they will end up posting personal information anywhere without having the choice not to play at all?! “
